Review:
Do yourself a favor and skip the Dawkins and Harris; they're smug, turgid, and boring, with all the human feeling of a tax return. Read Hitchens instead... A tendentious delight, a caustic and even brilliant book... Thank God for Christopher Hitchens. Author: Mark Warren Source: Esquire
Dazzling... A campaign to put this glittering anti-theist tract on the national curriculum for "religious education" should begin here. Author: Johann Hari Source: Independent
Hitchens is a grand rhetorician, and his double-barrelled shotgun of a book is high entertainment... As with Voltaire, his scornful laughter is a powerful weapon. Author: Christopher Hart Source: Sunday Times
The anti-religion case has never been put so well, so comprehensively or so definitively as in this razor-sharp book... Hitchens accumulates a devastating case... Outstanding. Author: A.C. Grayling Source: Independent on Sunday
Christopher Hitchens is a master craftsman of argument... God is not Great is undoubtedly the most boisterously entertaining contribution to the [atheism] debate. Author: Siobhan Murphy Source: Metro
God is not Great is easily the most brilliant and fascinating contemplation upon the role of religion in human society in recent times, the Das Kapital of a tolerant, if exasperated, atheism. Author: Kevin Myers Source: Irish Independent
